A Family Of Ninjas




































If there were ever a sticker family to fear, this is the one.  Six ninjas?  I'm almost scared to make fun of them behind the anonymous cybersafety of my computer.  Almost.



I want to know what they are plotting.  Obviously it is something ultra-stealthy.  I mean look at those eyes.  There must be something really sketchy happening to the right of this family’s line of sight.  They are about to jump right off that windshield and mess some stuff up.  Take matters into their own little ninja hands.  Do some gymnastics trickery and maybe an assassination or four.  You know, standard ninja stuff.



If you want to show the world you're raising your kids to be sneaky little badasses, I guess ninja stickers would be the way to go.  Just drive this minivan slowly past the playground giving the bullies this furtive ninja look and I guarantee no one will take your kid's juice box.  Take that, world.

A Family And A Fu Manchu




















When you have the time to sit here and look at it discerningly, of course you can tell where they are going with this…Dad works for AEP or the cable company or something, and he climbs telephone poles, messes with wires, etc.  But at a glance, or if you're quickly driving by this person, it could just as easily be seen as a Fu Manchu/goatee hybrid-sporting, spiky-haired male stripper sliding down a pole in a butt harness.  Am I right??!

And I know this is going to surprise you so go ahead and take a seat………..………Mom went shopping.

A Family And An Advertisement (Thrice)













































If you have something you want to say to the world, what better way than on the back of your car?  It’s even better than buying a radio or TV ad that people can switch on and off willy nilly – it goes everywhere you go, and it’s like mandatory reading for anyone who happens to drive behind you. They can’t escape it.  So when you happen to be looking for a something (or someone), why waste your money on old-fashioned advertising?  Take a lesson from these folks and just use your rear windshield.

The first one appears to be looking for a new dad.  Two kids and one pet…doesn’t look like too much for a stepdad to take on.  Seems pretty standard in the scheme of today’s blended families.  The second one is seeking a new mom.  Three kids (who looks like they are either teenagers or about to be teenagers) and a dog…that is a lot more demanding than the first one.  Give me a toddler over a teenager any day of the week.  Yikes.

But that third one...if I'm not mistaken, that is an advertisement for an entire set of new parents.  And if that is the case, is the little girl driving?  Maybe she is steering and the dog is pushing the pedals?  Or do the parents hate their lives so much that they are taking applications for their own replacements?  Not sure how I really feel about any of those scenarios...
